The official trailer for 24: Live Another Day has finally arrived, and it is jam packed with a lot of Jack Bauer action!

The plot revolves around Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), who comes out of hiding in London to head off a massive terrorist attack while being hunted down by American forces dispatched by President James Heller.

Set and shot in London, the suspenseful event series once again will follow the exploits of heroic agent Jack Bauer (Sutherland). Four years ago, Jack was a fugitive from justice. Now an exile, he nevertheless is willing to risk his life and freedom to avert yet another global disaster.

Kiefer Sutherland is set to reprise his role as Jack Bauer when a film based on the FOX show 24 begins filming in the spring!

The 45-year-old actor told the AP he’s expecting to begin work on the movie in late April or May.

24 went off the air in 2010 – after he starred in That Championship Season on Broadway, Kiefer is working on a new FOX series called Touch. The drama tells the story of a father who discovers his autistic, mute son can actually predict events before they happen.

Series star Kiefer Sutherland reflected on the show’s run: “This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, [executive producer and showrunner] Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fan base that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful.”

Gordon told Variety, “Kiefer and me and the writers had (a decision to make). What’s the creative? What do we do? Is there any more story left to be told in this 24-hour format? We turned over every stone, and really determined that the story has come to an end in this 24-hour format.”

24 regular Mary Lynn Rajskub confirmed the news, tweeting, “Just found out we got the word officially. This is 24‘s last season.”
